Represent command completion tags as structs
The backend was using strings to represent command tags and doing string
comparisons in multiple places, but that's slow and unhelpful.  Create a
new command list with a supporting structure to use instead; this is
stored in a tag-list-file that can be tailored to specific purposes with
a caller-definable C macro, similar to what we do for WAL resource
managers.  The first first such uses are a new CommandTag enum and a
CommandTagBehavior struct.

Replace numerous occurrences of char *completionTag with a
QueryCompletion struct so that the code no longer stores information
about completed queries in a cstring.  Only at the last moment, in
EndCommand(), does this get converted to a string.

EventTriggerCacheItem no longer holds an array of palloc’d tag strings
in sorted order, but rather just a Bitmapset over the CommandTags.
